I often give my photographs a black edge or black + white edge. I use Photoshop's canvas size feature for this. Even for large prints i like to add this slim black line + white line, both to be visibel within the paspartout frame.
Something like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/272079157/ or this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/272078877/ ,except here the "virltual paspartout" is black. In the real world I use a white or off-white paspartout for display or framing.

All, I'm looking for some advice. I printed a couple of shots from my Bodie gallery and really like them. Many of them have very light (almost white) areas at their edges. I usually mat prints with archival white mats, but I'm not sure that's going to work with these prints. I think straight black would dominate the prints, however, so I'm not sure what to do. Advice? Anyone with gallery experience? Or anyone with an opinion?
